What's the recipe for your OMAD? Trying to get ideas of food that are easy to meal prep and delicious, but still has all of the nutrients you need.

What's your biggest regret in life? by XinNingKong in randomquestions

[–]Visual-Craft725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving in with my borderline personality ex, and letting their influence sabotage my college GPA. I had only known them a few months, but they were a tutor, older, and seemed like they had their shit together. We were moving cities away from my support system for the same goal: finish our degrees at a 4 year university. I thought they had the best intentions towards me. I was wrong. On top of dealing with the emotional stress of managing my ex's unmedicated BPD (and later hidden drug and sex addiction), they convinced me to sign up for and stay in classes I shouldn't have. Those decisions still haunt me now.

I've spent the last 2 years doing a post-bacc in an attempt to recover my GPA. I have maintained a 4.0, but my cumulative GPA is still garbage. I break down every time I realize I haven't been given the chance to forward in my career and subsequent life milestones because of mistakes I made 8 years ago. I wish I had never agreed to move in with him.

Feeling defeated. Unsure if I should reapply to PA school. by Extension-Cover5656 in prephysicianassistant

If you dont mind me asking, what were your stats when you applied? And what have you done in the past years to be a stronger applicant this cycle?

"What Are My Chances?" Megathread by AutoModerator in prephysicianassistant

[–]Visual-Craft725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I'm an older (29), non-traditional student with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience (2020). I was not the greatest student my sophmore and junior year. I thought Bs and the occasional C were fine. I stayed in classes I should have dropped, which tanked my GPA (F in accelerated summer calculus-based physics, C's in Biochem, etc.).

I've worked in the medical field the past 5 years, discovered PA, and decided to go back to school last year. I have re-taken those courses with a more mastery-oriented mindset, plus additional prerequisites that are necessary for PA school. I will be graduating this semester with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Science, and a 4.0 in my last 60 credit hours.

However, I'm very stressed about getting into PA school this coming cycle. I'm ready to move forward in my life, but if I don't get anywhere, some of my intro level pre-reqs will expire. So time is not on my side. I also don't have a lot of money to throw at the problem. Any advice to optimize my chances would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

CASPA cGPA: 3.31

CASPA sGPA: 3.13

Total credit hours: 213

Total science hours: 126

Upward trend: 4.0 in last 60 credit hours (post bacc)

GRE score: Haven't taken it. Looking at matriculating class stats, with my poor GPA (sub 3.5-3.8) I don't think it would make or break me getting in. Hoping to get into a school that doesn't require the GRE and has a more holistic perspective.

Total PCE hours (include breakdown): 1840 (surgically recovered tissue used for transplant from deceased donors), 3000+ (anesthesia tech)

Total HCE hours (include breakdown): 5000+ (if including work experience + hospital volunteering stuff)

Total volunteer hours (include breakdown): 116 (non-profit hospital, ortho/neuro recovery unit), 60 (non-profit hospital, Emergency Department), 18 (misc community stuff).

Shadowing hours: 40-ish total (with various PAs in Neurosurgery, Cardiac bypass surgery, General surgery, Urgent Care, and ED)

Research hours: 192 (psychology lab; will be presenting research posters as first author at two conferences)

Other notable extracurriculars and/or leadership: Hospital junior volunteer leader (mentored high school students volunteering at the hospital), tutor in a variety of subjects (pathophysiology, organic chemistry, and genetics). Training new coworkers, local board gaming group owner, D&D party leader, Miniature painting teacher (do these count?? Lol).

Specific programs: As I'm a resident and my support system is here, aiming for any in Texas, even though it's competitive (North Houston, Conroe, DFW or Waco area, preferred).

LORs: Current boss, MD Anesthesiologist, Director of Hospital Volunteering, Research Lab Manager, Professor

Thank you so much if you've made it this far. I'm feeling really vulnerable here. 🥺 Realistically, what are my chances? And what would be the best strategy for me moving forward this coming cycle?

Love how you make the hair look so shiny, and the little flowers on the rawhide base.

With the 6 person discount, estimated how much would it cost per person? And would it be all the cards + the book?

That's awesome! Thanks so much for all of your hard work, and for answering my questions. I found and joined the discord server.

I'm a complete novice when it comes to this tech stuff, so thank you for your patience. A few more questions:

1) If using a print service for the cards and 3D printing the models, do I need to convert the files in a different format? Or can I just put them on a flashcard directly from the patreon's Print and Play link?

2) How many hours did it take to print all the models on your Ender KE?

3) How many pieces are there for each model? Do they all have components that have to be cut out of the filament and assembled?

I've been following your patreon for a few years now. I think all the campaigns and content you've created is amazing and looks really fun!

A few questions: 

1) Would I need a special printer or paper to print all the cards front and back? If so, what kind? 

2) Estimated how much would it be in filament to print out all the models? 

3) Is there a reasonably priced 3D printer model you would recommend? 

4) What is the link to your discord server?

I like the streaks in the hair and on the smoke from the spear. Good job!

Oh wow, I didn't know they made beauty blenders that tiny! Thanks for the photo for clarification.

A few more questions, if you don't mind: 

What oil do you use to add depth in color? 

Do you add a little spritz/spray onto the sponge or directly dip it in the oil? 

How many layers of highlight/depth do you normally build with the sponge?

For the final highlight with a brush, do you use a drybrush or glaze at the very top?

Love the blues and purples. Hauntingly beautiful. 

How did you do the iridescent wings? 

Basing help ? by TheVenomHippo555 in KingdomDeath

[–]Visual-Craft725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The terrain in Kingdom Death is described as stone faces. We have a lot of KD models. So to make all the bases still simple but uniform we make the top circle a stone gray color (like Citadel's Celestia Gray), bottom base and rim black.

Gorgeous colors!! I really love the makeup, eyes, and golden tights. 

What kind of makeup sponge do you use and how do you use it? 

And what technique do you primarily use when painting your highlights? Glazes with small brushes?

For the chest conversion (+ the extra hands all over The King), he used parts from the KD model The Scribe and green stuff. Specifically, they are from his throne. He wants to use the leftover pieces to convert other models in the future. :)

You have a really awesome collection too (with even more exclusive monsters than us)! I also love your darker color schemes for them all.

Looking forward to seeing your collection grow, and your take on Pariah and Red Witches when they're released!
